Today’s post is regarding city burn ordinances and burning in Perry county. Below there is an attachment for for the citys ordinance for open burning in the city limits.
Often we get asked who do we contact for open burning? Please call Central Dispatch at 573-431-3131. When you contact Central dispatch this lets them know that there is a controlled burn so if they receive calls about it they know there is no alarm.

If you are burning in the county you will still need to contact Central dispatch but you do not have to fill out a burn permit.

Recently your Perryville fire department responded to a call for a carbon monoxide detector activation. The following highlights the importance of properly installed and maintained carbon monoxide detectors.
Upon crews arrival the occupants of the structure were already evacuated. Fire department crews immediately had readings of 150 ppm (parts per million) inside the structure.. Crews later located the location of the release to be coming from a utility room with readings of 2000 ppm located inside the room.

For people that don't know much about carbon monoxide or (CO) this is a highly poisonous gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless it's also referred to as the “ Silent Killer”. Breathing it in replaces oxygen in the blood which can lead to rapid organ damage and death.
Common Sources: Gas furnaces, portable generators, fireplaces, wood stoves, charcoal grills, idling cars, and faulty water heaters.
"Flu-like" Symptoms: Headaches, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.
Because you cannot see or smell CO, specialized alarms are your only warning.
Install Alarms: Place alarms on every level of your home and near all sleeping areas. Maintenance: Have your heating systems, vents, and chimneys checked annually by a professional.
Safe Operations: Never use a portable generator or charcoal grill indoors or inside an attached garage. Never idle a car in a closed space. See pictures below for information.

We would like to ask that folks please do not park in parking spots at Fire Station #1 on W. Ste Marie St. where no parking signs are posted. This causes issues when crews need to respond to an emergency situation by crews needing to run long distances to get the station and delays helping others in need. Violators will be towed at owners expense. Thank you for your help being a part of the solution and not the problem.
